Hong Kong Leader Carrie Lam to Withdraw Extradition Bill
Tyrone Siu / Reuters
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has said she will withdraw the highly controversial extradition bill which has triggered months of protests, BBC reports.
The proposal, introduced in April, would have allowed criminal suspects to be extradited to mainland China.
The bill was suspended in June but Ms Lam stopped short of scrapping it.
Full withdrawal was one of five key demands of protesters, who also want full democracy. Some rejected Ms Lam's move and vowed to keep on protesting.
